Fuck, that was really an ask, wasn’t it? He’d trusted me enough to tell me his story, and now I needed him to trust me enough to know that I wouldn’t break him with the knowledge.

That I wouldn’t hurt him.

That we weredonehurting each other.

I felt the sting of him biting his lip like a faint echo of his nervousness, but he still nodded. Soft. Sweet.

“I do.”

I do.

I understood how much those words meant to him, and I intended to make sure that he didn’t regret saying them.

I took a few seconds to trail my fingers up and down the length of his thighs again, and when I slid forward and my knees pressed against his legs, he made space for me between them without me having to ask.

I was soft when I trailed my tongue over the swell of his ass, gentle when I used my fingers to pull his cheeks apart.

Theo was a shivering mess above me, and I wondered if he’d ever had anyone do this for him? Had he ever had anyone takecare of him? Ever had anyone touch him with no ulterior motive, any want other than just knowing he felt good?

It tingled along the length of my spine, how sweet and foreign this was to him. I shivered when he did as I swiped my tongue in a slow line up the length of his ass and teased at his hole with the tip.

“Oh, fuck. Wren, I haven’t… unnf.” He cut off when I stiffened my tongue and circled his rim in a slow motion. I was pretty sure it was only my hands on his thighs, wrapped around him, that kept him standing. His knees felt weak, and his body swayed above me with every stroke of my tongue against his ass.

It was sogoodthough. He tasted clean and warm, and he seemed sowillingto give himself over to me, totrustme.

This wasn’t about pleasure as much as it was about showing him thathispleasure was more important than mine.

But I could still feel every spark of desire that ripped through him, every nerve ending that lit up the more I licked and lapped at his hole until he was soaked with my saliva and his body was rocking back against my tongue in a silent plea for more.

I wanted to give him more.

I wanted to give himeverything.

This time, when I stiffened my tongue, it dipped past his rim and delved inside him. Theo’s breath punched from his chest at the same moment my cock jerked between my legs.

Fuck, the tingles shooting through his body were sogood.I’d been getting better at ignoring every little sensation that rippled through him, each pain and pleasure… but I was leaving myself open to it now, vulnerable to everything I did.

I wanted to be here with him.

I wanted him to know that I could feel him, all of him, and every bit of it was something I wanted.

My hands circled around, grabbing his hips and pulling him back against my face in encouragement. It took him a second tocatch on to what I was trying to do, but he started to ride back against me after a few encouraging flicks from my tongue. Soon, he caught a rhythm that I let him take control of, and one hand slid across his stomach to take hold of his cock.

The squeeze of my palm against his thick shaft almost undid me—sparks of pleasure licked along my spine and made me moan against him. My free hand gently slapped his hip, encouraging him to move faster, to take whatever he needed.

To use me, because Iwantedhim to feel good. I wanted him to feel in control of himself.

This was all for him.

And I think he knew that too, because his hips started to rock faster, his body catching a frantic pace that made my jaw ache in the most delicious way. I pumped his dick in time with that motion and got lost in the sound of his breath catching, his moans that poured loud and free from his chest.

Theo wasn’t holding back. He was completely giving himself over to this, to taking what he wanted, to being the master of his own pleasure and desire… and it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.

Just glancing up along the length of his spine, where his shoulders arched and his head was thrown back—the water catching in hair that he had tangled in his fingers—wasart.Beautiful and perfect in all its flaws.

He shivered and glanced over his shoulder, and all I could do was drown in the sea of his eyes.

So dark.
